Designated Learning Institutions & Visa Students

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has requirements related to Study Permits for Visa students. Visa students who apply for Study Permits must show proof that the offers they receive are from IRCC approved Designated Learning Institutions. McMaster is an approved Designated Learning Institution, and as such has been assigned a unique Designated Learning Institution Number (DLI#). Visa students will need this DLI# in the process of applying for their Study Permits. All offer letters will include McMaster’s DLI# at the bottom of the letter (under the signature of the Admissions Officer). This information is readily accessible and searchable on the IRCC website: Designated learning institutions list.

McMaster’s DLI# is: O19395535729
